hi dwanthny

thanks for your reply, I'm still testing the best way for me to export ebooks to my device..
Into the first post here I asked differences between 2 different ways to do that, but maybe my words were not so clear, so now I'll ask it again, but helping myself with 2 screenshots..

so..

this is the screen from Preferences --> (Import / Export) Send books to device

while this one, instead,

is from Preferences --> (Advanced) Plugin and then choosing Android driver..

So, I first tried to change the general preferences but it didn't work the way I wanted. Then I also edited the Android plugin options and finally it worked..
I would like to know what I'm missing and why they exist two options for what I think is the same thing..

Another question.. once I choose to set a path in that window, there's no way to send some books (based on authors, for example, or on tags) to a different path (always based on metadata controls like series, authors and so on)?

Thank you!
(If there's something I should explain better, please don't hesitate to ask me, I know that often my english became difficult to understand!!)
